Re: Slow Children
Smartness wise he's at the top of his class. All of the State tests say so. To myself it's just being lazy but Dana who I'm slowly, possibly too slowly, learning that he has challenges. I adopted Dylan and from my understanding at birth he gave mom quite a few twists and turns in coming out and she was almost dead on the table. Thankfully they're both fine and doing well.
It seems he does things fast, and 100% accurate, if he's motivated: friends, wanting to play, etc. for most things. On Friday he had to do dishes before he could play and took three hours even though IMO it should've taken about 30 minutes. In class he talks a lot which is both good and bad as talking is good for social interaction but bad because it wasn't being done at the right time (between classes, before/after, etc.). I know he's more than capable but get side tracked a lot.
We've had him tested, gone to shrinks, etc. and they tell us he will be fully operational when he's older but no one can truly say when "older" truly is.
